About Marine Ornithology Under a joint venture agreement, Marine ornithology is now managed bya Steering Committee appointed by supporting seabird societies. http://www.marineornithology.org/about.html
Extractions: About Marine Ornithology Marine Ornithology presents peer reviewed contributions concerning international seabird science and conservation. Marine Ornithology is supported and published biannually through a partnership between the African Seabird Group, the Pacific Seabird Group (PSG), and the Australasian Seabird Group. The African Seabird Group , based in Cape Town, South Africa, the Pacific Seabird Group , based in California, USA, and the Australasian Seabird Group , based in Australia, and The Seabird Group , based in the U.K. have jointly managed and published Marine Ornithology: an International Journal of Seabird Science and Conservation from its 2002 volume. John Cooper and the African Seabird Group founded Marine Ornithology (initially named Cormorant ) in 1976. Under a joint venture agreement, Marine Ornithology is now managed by a Steering Committee appointed by supporting seabird societies. Dr. Tony Gaston of Ottawa, Canada, and John Cooper of Cape Town currently serve as co-editors, along with a distinguished international editorial board. The societies hope that seabird biologists and managers will publish their work in Marine Ornithology to attract the widest possible international readership.

Extractions: Galen's research interests include the behavioral ecology of vertebrates, conservation biology of declining species, and the application of innovative field techniques. Most of his career was as a federal research biologist studying Florida manatees and California sea otters. In addition to his affiliation with the Academy, he is a Scientist Emeritus with the U.S. Geological Survey. His current research involves understanding the basic life history of California red-legged frogs and Pacific pond turtles, the impacts of cattle grazing on a community of small mammals in the San Joaquin Valley, and the evolution of monogamy in elephant-shrews (sengis) and dassie rats in Namibia (southwestern Africa). As the founding Chair of the Afrotheria Specialist Group of the IUCN - The World Conservation Union, Galen remains active in conservation biology. Galen has conducted research in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, Mexico, Honduras, Panama, Argentina, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Palau, Alaska, and throughout California. He is fluent in both Spanish and Swahili.
Wilson Ornithological Society The Wilson Society, founded in 1888, is a worldwide organization of nearly 2500 people who share Category Science Biology Zoology Chordates ornithology of which are published jointly by the Ornithological societies of North Society ofCanadian Ornithologists, the Society of Caribbean ornithology, The Waterbird http://www.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/birds/wos.html
Extractions: General Information The Wilson Society, founded in 1888, is a world-wide organization of nearly 2500 people who share a curiosity about birds. Named in honor of Alexander Wilson , the Father of American Ornithology, the Society publishes a quarterly journal of ornithology, The Wilson Bulletin, and holds annual meetings Perhaps more than any other biological science, ornithology has been advanced by the contributions of persons in other chosen professions. The Wilson Society recognizes the unique role of the serious amateur in ornithology. Fundamental to its mission, the Society has distinguished itself with a long tradition of promoting a strong working relationship among all who study birds. Each year the Wilson Society awards a number of small grants for ornithological research In addition to receiving The Wilson Bulletin four times a year, and being served by the Josselyn Van Tyne Memorial Library, members also receive the bimonthly Ornithological Newsletter and a copy of The Flock (a directory of ornithologists), both of which are published jointly by the Ornithological Societies of North America (OSNA), which includes the Wilson Ornithological Society, the American Ornithologists' Union, the Cooper Ornithological Society, the Association of Field Ornithologists, CIPAMEX, the Society of Canadian Ornithologists, the Society of Caribbean Ornithology, The Waterbird Society, the Pacific Seabird Group, and the Raptor Research Foundation. The Ornithological Newsletter provides news about the Societies, requests for assistance from researchers, professional positions, worldwide opportunities for field assistants (both paid and volunteer), graduate student positions and support, information on grants, new publications, scientific bird meetings, and news of members.

Extractions: In 1758 a man named Carolus Linnaeus (Carl von Linne) developed a classification system for all animals. He divided the animal Kingdom into groups that each had things in common. Then he divided those groups into smaller groups that had even more things in common. When he finally finished, there were seven levels in his system. At the lowest level is the species. His scientific classification system is still used today. Level Name Description Kingdom Animalia Animals Phylum Chordata Animals with backbones Class Aves Animals called Birds Order Passeriformes Birds that perch Family Turdidae All Thrushes Genus Turdus Similar Thrushes Species Turdus migratorius American Robin Notice that the species has two names. The names are in Latin. The first name is the Genus and the second is another name that often describes a prominent feature of the bird. The second name may also be a person's name often the name of the ornithologist that first discovered the bird. Scientists sometimes will talk about "races" or "tribes" of one species. Human Beings are a species but there are many races of humans. (Think of a Japanese Sumo wrestler, an pygmy from New Guinea and a Masi warrier from Africa). The same is true for birds. When you go birding you may notice that some birds, such as the Yellow-rumped Warbler, look different in the East than the same species does in the West. Different races of the same species often are separated geographically.
Professional Societies of Canadian Ornithologists, the Society of Caribbean ornithology, The Waterbird TheOrnithological Newsletter provides news about the societies, requests for http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mtk4m/Professional Societies.htm
Extractions: Professional Societies There are a number of professional ornithological societies with which you should be familiar. There are also a number of other professional societies that I suggest you check out as well; these are societies that attract folks (undergrads, grad students, career people in science and conservation...) interested in areas such as physiology, behavior, organismal biology, integrative biology, ecology, conservation and evolution regardless of any special interest in birds. I hope you take the time to familiarize yourselft with these groups, visit their webpages, and perhaps even contact some of their members (for any number of reasons, including learning about grad programs, summer internships and scholarships ), I'll add more links soon, but for now, here are a few to get you started. Ornithological Societies American Ornithologists Union (AOU) Founded in 1883, the American Ornithologists' Union is the oldest and largest organization in the New World devoted to the scientific study of birds. Although the AOU primarily is a professional organization, its membership of about 4,000 includes many amateurs dedicated to the advancement of ornithological science. The major activity of The American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) is the publication of scientific information relating to birds. The Auk is a quarterly journal of ornithology that contains the results of original scientific research and book reviews. Supplements provide proceedings of business meetings and committee reports of general interest.

Extractions: Many of these websites are worth a visit if you are looking to see how you can help. It is not all about rare antpittas in the depths of the rain forest... each of us can help the birds in our own back yard and, by the way we live, directly effect the environment in a more positive way. At the very least we can join a society that helps to conserve the object of all our admiration; our own country`s birds themselves.
